BOISE, Idaho — On Monday afternoon, the Senate State Affairs Committee voted 6-3 to pass Senate Bill 1441 (SB-1441), which would require Idaho law enforcement agencies to enter formal cooperation agreements with ICE.
After the original bill, HB 659, died in the Senate, the new partnership bill includes a notable amendment that would allow city leaders to opt out of the partnership if it would hurt their ability to provide other services.
